Gut Health Test with Microbiome Wipe

Description

 

You should take this test if you

✔  Experience regular constipation or diarrhea

✔  Have IBS or IDB (or a family history of it) 

✔  Have excessive gas, bloating, abdominal pain, or nausea

✔  Have taken multiple courses of antibiotics

✔  Have frequent heartburn

Potential Symptoms

The Gut Health Test identifies and quantifies bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, archaea, and parasites from a small stool sample that provides an unparalleled analysis of the composition of your microbiome.

• IBS
• Cramping
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Constipation
• Nausea
• Gas
• Heartburn
• Bloating

 

The test is useful for individuals who are looking to optimize gut health for:

• Athletic performance
• Biohacking
• Recovery
• Full-body health
• Immune function
• Mood/Brain Health

 

What we measure

Intestinal Permeability  •  Stool

Understand your personal risk for how easily particles can pass through your intestinal wall based on your microbiome composition.

 

Gut Dysbiosis  •  Stool

Measures the presence of any dysbiosis – an imbalance in the bacteria in the gut. An optimal balance of gut bacteria is associated with health, wellness, and a reduced risk of various disease conditions.

 

Digestion  •  Stool

Learn how your age, prescription medications, over-the-counter products, surgery, injuries, and various lifestyle factors can impact your digestive capabilities.

 

Inflammation  •  Stool

Understand your personal risk for inflammation and patterns of inflammatory activity.

 

Enteric Nervous System Imbalance  •  Stool

Learn how your bacterial makeup impacts the real-time communication between your gut and brain and how it affects your autonomic and central nervous systems, nutrient metabolism, sleep, mood, food cravings, stress levels, and more.

 

Diversity •  Stool

The quality and the quantity of the microbes in your gut influence multiple metrics of health, weight, and metabolism, as well as your personal risk for disease. Your Beta-Diversity score compares your microbiome to the healthy microbiomes of others.

 

Micronutrients  •  Stool

This is the score associated with your gut’s capability to produce folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and niacin (vitamin B3) based on the makeup of your microbiome.

 

Short-Chain Fatty Acids  •  Stool

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) help maintain a normal level of inflammation in the gut, while also supporting the gut’s immune function. Your score reflects the capability of your gut to produce SCFA based on your gut’s microbial composition.

 

Immune Readiness  •  Stool

Your gut’s microbial composition plays a key role in keeping you healthy when you are confronted with immune stressors. Your score is derived from an advanced proprietary equation.

 

Pathogens  •  Stool

Pathogens in the air, food, and drinking water can cause immediate and undesirable symptoms. Your sample is screened for 11 undesirable pathogens, including viruses and parasites.
